There is a lot going on at Grace Episcopal Church on Sunday, September 8
when worship services return to their normal times of 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Returning to school? During the 10 a.m. service, all students from
pre-school to graduate level, teacher or administrator, are encouraged to bring
their backpacks, briefcases or book bags to church. There will be a special
blessing for all students and others returning to school – a reminder that you
carry God with you, everywhere you go.
After the 10 a.m. service, Sunday School registration will take place in
the church hall during the fellowship hour. Meet your child’s Sunday School
teacher for the coming year. Classes begin on September 15. At Grace Church,
the Sunday School curriculum for children ages 3 through fifth grade is Godly
Play. Sixth graders through senior high are in the youth group. Those under 3
are welcome in the nursery during the 10 a.m. service. There is also a
“children’s corner” in the church with toys, books and a rocking chair for
parents who prefer to worship with their babies and toddlers.
In addition, the Grace Church Children’s Chapel is used for special monthly
children’s services for the Sunday School students. The children’s service is
geared toward teaching the children all parts of a worship service. The
children have an opportunity to learn and participate in the lay ministries that
are an integral part of each worship service – such as acolytes, ushers and
readers.
